Tang Ye watched as Tang Zhao flew up into the clouds and disappeared. He turned to glare at Xu Shixing. "You have nothing to say now, right? What Enlightened Master? There's no such thing! Look at how scared you are! "
Xu Shixing smiled bitterly. "It's not impossible for him to become an Enlightened Master. He's a genius. It's not difficult for him to surpass the other one."
"He's not an Enlightened Master yet!" Tang Ye scoffed. "Besides, if we can cripple him, he won't become an Enlightened Master!"
"Your Royal Highness, he's a disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain!" Xu Shixing hurriedly said.
Tang Ye said, "Just don't let anyone find out. Goddess Attraction Mountain isn't a god. Do you think they know everything?"
"That's too risky." Xu Shixing advised.
Tang Ye scoffed. "So what if Goddess Attraction Mountain finds out? What can they do to me?"
Xu Shixing was stunned and did not say anything more.
Tang Ye's identity was very important. Even if Goddess Attraction Mountain found out, they might not dare to do anything. After all, Tang Ye had the bloodline of an Enlightened Master. He was protected by an Enlightened Master. No matter how much trouble he caused, his life would be spared.
"Alright, stop being overcautious. You're embarrassing me." Tang Ye scoffed. "Do whatever you want. I don't believe I can't get this woman. None of the women I've set my eyes on have escaped!"
"Yes!" Xu Shixing said.

Early in the morning, Xu Shixing led the nine knights and appeared outside the main gate of the Ren Public House. Two stone lions glared at them fiercely. Four Protectors of the High Duke's Public House stood with their hands on their swords, guarding in front of them vigilantly.
Xu Shixing sat on his horse and gave a fist salute. "Please inform them that I'm here to propose marriage to your Public House on behalf of the Fu Dynasty's Third Prince!"
The four Protectors looked at each other and sized up Xu Shixing.
Xu Shixing proudly scoffed. "What? Is this how the Ren Public House treats its guests?"
The red door covered with copper nails slowly opened. The Chief of External Affairs of the Ren Public House strode out and enthusiastically led them into the living room.
"Isn't the Young Lady engaged to Chief Chu? Why is there another proposal?" The four Protectors stood at the door and whispered.
"It's not surprising that the Fu Dynasty's Third Prince is interested in someone like the Young Lady."
"Hmph, the Third Prince is a big shot."
"I think it's better for Young Mistress to marry the Third Prince. Although he's a little arrogant, he's still a prince of the Fu Dynasty. He's nobler than the princes of the Ji Dynasty and Chu Li."
"That's true. The fact that Chu Li is able to marry the Third Lady of the Yi Public House is already a blessing in disguise. Now that he wants to marry the Lady, he's really …"
"Chu Li's martial arts is peerless. Only he can suppress someone like the Lady."
"Ye is the Ye. Ye is the Young Ye is Ye is is is is is... Ye.. Ye Ye is. Ye. Ye.
"So what? No matter how strong Chu Li is, he can't be stronger than the prince of Fu Dynasty."
The four of them started arguing and none of them gave in to each other. Some of them felt that it was better to marry Chu Li because Chu Li was worthy of the Lady. Some of them felt that it was better to marry the Third Prince of the Fu Dynasty. Once they were married, the Ren Public House would be able to do whatever they wanted and no one would dare to bully them anymore.
Xu Shixing and the others entered the living room. They had just taken two sips of tea when Lu Yulou appeared.
Lu Yu Lou was dressed in a green robe. He walked in calmly and cupped his fists. "Everyone has come from afar. I am Lu Yu Lou. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you."
"So it's the heir to the High Duke." Xu Shixing put down his teacup and smiled. "An elder brother is like a father. Since High Duke Lu is not in the residence, I believe that the Junior High Duke can make the decision and agree to the marriage between the Third Prince and Miss Lu."
Lu Yulou's face was like a crown jade and his temperament was as gentle as jade. He calmly shook his head. "It's really unfortunate. Younger Sister is already engaged to Chu Li. She can't go back on her word."
"Why can't I?" Xu Shixing said in a low voice, "A woman from the same family is sought after by hundreds of families. Between Chu Li and the Third Prince, it is clear at a glance which one is more important. What is there to hesitate about? After Miss Lu marries into the Imperial Residence, she will not be a concubine, but a Concubine Ping. His Royal Highness's deep love for Miss Lu can be seen clearly. I hope that the Junior High Duke's Public House will make a wise decision."
"Although the High Duke's Public House is not talented, we will keep our promises. We will never go back on our words." Lu Yulou shook his head. "I hope that the Third Prince will forgive me. This matter will not change. Even if my father comes out of isolated cultivation, he will still make the same decision."
"If that's the case, then you are going to disappoint the Third Prince's deep love?" Xu Shixing said coldly.
Lu Yulou calmly nodded. "We can only appreciate the Third Prince's deep love."
Xu Shixing stared at him without moving.
Lu Yulou also looked at him, calm and magnanimous.
Xu Shixing sneered. "You really don't know how to appreciate favors. How can Chu Li be compared to our Prince?"
"Although the High Duke's Public House is not talented, we are not the kind to climb up to the rich and powerful." Lu Yulou shook his head. "The matter of the engagement is entirely up to Younger Sister's will. We will not sacrifice Younger Sister for benefits."
"You have guts. I admire you!" Xu Shixing closed fist saluted. He turned around and strode away.
Lu Yulou watched as they jumped onto their horses and galloped away. His brows furrowed and his eyes flashed.
He went straight to the backyard. Lu Yurong was dressed in a snow-white gown. She was playing the guzheng in the gazebo.
She played the guzheng gently with her bare hands. She was elegant and calm. The sound of the guzheng was loud and clear.
When Lu Yulou heard the sound of the guzheng, he could not help but smile. It seemed that Younger Sister was not troubled by this. She was very calm.
Lu Yurong pressed on the strings and the sound of the guzheng stopped. She looked up. "They left?"
Lu Yulou sat opposite her. "They left in disappointment. I can see that they will not let this go."
"They probably went to the Fairy's Capital." Lu Yurong picked up the teacup.
A maid beside her served Lu Yulou a cup of tea.
"Younger Sister, can you really handle it?" Lu Yulou frowned. "Once they go to the Fairy's Capital, I'm afraid that His Highness might not be able to stop them. You will be forced to separate from Chu Li. What will you do then?"
"His Highness won't." Lu Yurong shook her head.
The benefits involved were easy to calculate. The Crown Prince was not a foolish person. He would not risk offending Chu Li to cater to the Fu Dynasty even if the Fu Dynasty could suppress the Ji Dynasty.
Lu Yulou shook his head. "We have to be careful. Even if His Highness won't, what about the Emperor?"
Lu Yurong frowned. "We can't guess or influence the Emperor's thoughts."
"You can only obey the Emperor's orders," Lu Yulou said.
Lu Yurong shook her head. "If that's the case, I'll just kill myself."
"You can't hide it." Lu Yulou said, "They are not fools."
Lu Yurong frowned and did not say anything.
Under the circumstances, it was difficult to stay out of trouble.
"Can Chu Li help?" Lu Yulou asked.
Lu Yurong sighed.
Lu Yulou said, "Chu Li today is different from the past."
Lu Yurong shook her head. "His foundation is still too shallow. The Enlightened Masters will most likely appear in the Tempest Temple. Now, it all depends on whether he can become an inner mountain disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain."
As they spoke, a maid hurried to the gazebo and presented a bamboo tube with both hands. "My Lady, a secret report."
Lu Yurong reached out and took it. After opening it, a bright smile appeared on her face.
Lu Yulou quickly asked, "Is it good news?"
"Chu Li has become an inner mountain disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain." Lu Yurong pursed her lips and smiled. "As expected of Chu Li!"
Lu Yulou was shocked. "He really became an inner mountain disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain?"
